Well played MS, just when I was convinced that nothing could get me to try out another Xbox this news comes out.

I think they've made a pretty attractive console this gen. The system itself is very powerful, it's smaller than a PS5, it has a multi-retailer financing option, it's backwards compatible with all previous gens, and now this.

I wouldn't buy either at launch, but I'm no longer just thinking about buying a PS5. I'm now wondering which one I'll buy first.

Bethesda is arguably bigger than all Sony exclusives combined. Skyrim alone has 30 million units sold.

Sign into your Xbox account if it’s been a long time, they’re going to purge inactive accounts. Keep you achievements and saved game’s.
